It was common knowledge in the pinball community in my town that an ex operator had some old arcade cabinets stored in his garage. Luckily the pinball fans are just that: pinball fans.

A Gorf arcade cabinet had been offered for sale on a pinball forum and with the help of some guys from our fabulous community I managed to strike a deal with the seller which of course meant roadtrip time - again! Unfortunately, the seller's location was pretty far out for a single daytrip, so I decided to ask my best friend Charlotte to come along for the ride.

PLUS only recently I had picked up a cocktail table glass bezel for the "seller", so this would be a nice chance for the exchange. even better: the pickup location was pretty close!
